What's new in 4.3rc1 (2026-Jul-14 11:23): app: add Windows for arm64 version in file WinBox_Windows_arm64.zip; form: make multiline input field height logic as in WinBox v3; table: add quick comment feature (allow multi-row commenting); table: allow opening "Table settings" also via right mouse cl…

[image] WinBox 4.2 is released! Usage: WinBox [options] connect-to username password workspace Please enhance that so password and workspace are optional args and WinBox can be auto-connecting to a saved entry without presenting the "Connect to" screen. Maybe as WinBox [options] connect-to or m…

[image] EdPa: ui: add app Quit option in Settings dropdown menu; :man_facepalming: Who will ever use it? There is a system close button just near settings button and it doesn't require to do 2 clicks. Your crazy devs should have WinBox 3 wallpaper on their desktops, on the walls, everywhere…

But I should admit, that this rc has much more progress compared to 4.2, than a whole "beta" phase.

[image] teslasystems: Your crazy devs should have WinBox 3 wallpaper on their desktops, on the walls, everywhere. IMHO WinBox 3 was not exactly the gold standard for great user interface design. Seeing it that way may be more about nostalgia or the idea that "everything was better in the past…

It's mostly related to layout. Everything is in place and not stupidly scattered around. Regarding design, it's already about tastes. Personally, I'm not a big fan of Win98-like view, but compared to this nonsense in v4, it's better.

To be fair, this is not a particularly valid term of comparison. Even L-Cars is better.

[image] EdPa: table: show collapsed tools right menu as dropdown button in table toolbar; add global setting to change default tools position (right-side or toolbar); Is it possible to move that column to the menu line too to recover so much lost space? [image]

Yes I do the same in Xfce, and in this case, the new implementation in WinBox 4 requires the same amount of clicks als using the context menu on the taskbar button. [image] sinisa: Dropdown (only an arrow, maybe with text "more") should be there ONLY if there is not enough space for all of the …

Ok. Anyway, it's not the right place, and the button should be available within one click, like in WinBox 3. And what this menu item has common with "Settings" is another question to the devs...

WinBox 4.3rc released!
